Hello Kitty gets a ‘Chukaman’ makeover

On January 10th, convenience store chain Circle K Sunkus began selling Hello Kitty versions of Chukaman (or steamed Chinese dumpling). The product became an instant sensation, and comments about the ‘Hello Kitty-man’ are spreading fast on social networking sites like Twitter.

“Hello Kitty-man” is a custard-filled steamed dumpling shaped like a Hello Kitty. The confectionery contains apples pieces and is easily bought for 150 yen (approximately $2).

Its pink wrapping paper also encloses a “Sanrio Happy Fortune”, whose messages vary from from product to product.

Would you grab a “Hello Kitty-man” for yourself?

Cute!
Trying one won't hurt, right?
If I ever saw one in a store I'd buy it!

I jokingly tried to convince people to contribute to my sanrio collection. (So far I have two HK charms, a HK radio, a HK beanie baby and a Chococat plushie/pillow)

I used to see Circle K's all the time in Nagano and Sunkus in Saitama, but the area of Kanagawa I'm in is devoid of them. Never really cared about it until now! ;_;

If it's any good, please drop a reply so I can see if it'll be worth trying to hunt down one. Because, Hello Kitty y'all.

I tried one out and I didn't like it at all :/ unfortunately. It was kind of a sweet almost plastic taste, so I ended up throwing it away haha (and I usually love nikuman, pizaman etc)

It was very cute though!

coika 14th-Jan-2012 07:45 am (UTC)

There's no Circle K near where I live, damnit...;A; *living vicariously through you*

I'll have to get one on the way to work next Friday!

I think I prefer to wait until I find the MV on YT, preferably in good quality. And kinda busy myself. Do let me know if you have the link for the MV ;)
